Latest Techniques Deliver Painless Hair Transplants
by: Richard Mitchell
The recent development of improved hair transplant
techniques ensures that patients can now benefit from pain-free
surgery.
Unlike the older techniques that could be painful
and cause unsightly scarring, the Woods Technique of Follicular
Relocation is minimally invasive, painless and leads to hair restoration
that looks and feels completely natural
Under this technique physicians transplant only
the hair follicle and not the excess tissue that is common with
other transplant techniques. This means that the transplant site
only has to nourish the essential follicles resulting in a higher
take rate and a lower risk of fallout caused by localized shock.
The creators of the technique have been perfecting
it in Australia since 1989 during which time more than 2000 procedures
have been performed with a high success rate. Interestingly, Drs
Woods and Woods-Campbell have made the discovery that transplanted
body hair can grow up to three times its length and assume the
characteristics and qualities of scalp hair. This means that patients
who have damaged or depleted donor areas can now benefit from
the technique.
The good news for American patients is that the
technique is now being introduced to the US with a training facility
for doctors established at UCLA.
